The diagnosis of his breakdown was a broken "intermediate-shaft" bearing in the engine, a breakage similar to failures reported by other owners of certain Porsche models built between 1996 and 2005. Complaints about engine failures in Boxsters and 911s produced in this period are common on enthusiast websites. The failures have prompted complaints to federal regulators and at least one lawsuit.
The seven-year warranty Mr. Valore bought with the car had expired. But he says he pressed the service managers at Stevinson Imports in Littleton, Colo. to plead his case for Porsche to share some of the repair costs.
"I said, 'Look, guys, I have taken care of the car and brought it in to you. I have done my part," Mr. Valore says. "This should not have happened."
